ROI
The en-Gauge fire safety system has the potential to reduce total cost of ownership by as much as 40% over the lifetime of the extinguisher (an average of 12 years).
How? First, the en-Gauge reliable fire and safety equipment system can save you money on labor costs and time by not having to have someone manually inspect each and every extinguisher every 30 days since the system does it for you 24/7.
Secondly, since the proprietary software tracks the age, in-service date, manufacturer and complete incident history including usage and inspections, of each and every fire extinguisher you have easily accessible reports to demonstrate compliance with your local AHJ.
Third, because of the constant monitoring and instant notification, the likelihood of theft and vandalism are greatly reduced therefore dramatically augmenting your savings when other day-to-day issues are factored in such as clean up costs, extinguisher replacement, liability exposure, and risk of business interruption due to fire damage.
While investing in the safety of your people and property goes beyond a financial consideration, we recognize that every expenditure must be measured carefully. We invite you to examine the numbers.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can develop and implement a system that fits within your budget. We are confident that you’ll recognize that electronically monitoring your fire safety equipment is not only smart, it’s affordable. Contact our national sales manager to learn more.
